The resort site says it's in Fukushima.

I had to check cause I lived in Iwate for 2 years and never heard about a Hawaiian resort. heh

Hula Girls is a great feel-good movie. I recommend it. For a completely different kind of feed-good movie, check out (the unfortunately named) Kamikaze Girls (Shimotsuma Monogatari).

Don:

It is in Iwaki City. I think Lisa had a brain fart :)

btw, a week ago I posted my own trip report to this place, and wrote about the movie at the same time, if anyone is interested: http://www.alphabetcityblog.com/2009/07/japan-trip-2009-hula-girls.html

I will not be going back there without proper attire!

Don

Hurray for brain farts

My Bio

  • I write articles about culture, technology, and human rights for Wired, Popular Science, Fast Company, and the New York Times Magazine. I also produce radio segments for PRI's Studio360 and am a Correspondent for Boing Boing, one of Time Magazine's five most essential blogs of 2010.
